Episode 196: Mission Leadership Seminar 2024

Church leaders offered counsel and direction to almost 150 new mission presidents and their companions during the 2024 Seminar for New Mission Leaders for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on June 20 through 23. The mission leaders began their service in locations worldwide on or about July 1. During the four-day seminar every member of the First Presidency and Quorum of the Twelve Apostles spoke, as did the general authorities and general officers serving on the Missionary Executive Council.
This episode of the Church News podcast features excerpts of messages shared during the seminar, which focused on the purpose of missionary service - as stated in “Preach My Gospel” - to “invite others to come unto Christ.” While the talks are geared toward training new mission leaders, the teachings and topics can be applied by every member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Sleep wouldn't come. I was wrestling with how I could be a better missionary. My prayers were answered! Thank you.

Deep in my heart l always wanted to be a ward mission leader. ( Sh!! 😁), truly. But l am female. I've loved being a ward and stake missionary, for years. So... I'm making notes, from this podcast, as one day, maybe through the veil l can become even a mission presidents wife. I believe in all the Doctrine of the church, we are superbly blessed, supernally. Can never believe Christ choes me out of the world to Follow Him. 2:35 🇬🇧

Very nice to post a summary here. I hope they make the bulk of it available to the mission presidents already serving as seems like something that could really be a nice boost for them to listen to as they go about their days.

D&C 90 11 For it shall come to pass in that day, that every man shall hear the fulness of the gospel in his own tongue, and in his own language, through those who are ordained unto this power, by the administration of the Comforter, shed forth upon them for the revelation of Jesus Christ.

I liked it better in the past, when all of their talks were available in the Church News. I'm grateful for this short excerpts though.
